Fodor's Expert Review The Bird

Right in the center of the city, a stone's throw from Bath Abbey, the owners of the Bird have taken an attractive villa-style property and transformed it into one of Bath's best design hotels. The 29 bedrooms are all individually styled, with handcrafted wallpapers, unique artwork, and in many cases views over Bath. Some rooms have free-standing copper bathtubs. Families and dogs alike receive a warm welcome. Whether you are staying here or not, it is well worth having dinner on the terrace at Plate, the hotel's superb restaurant overlooking Bath Abbey or in one of their funky Dining Domes.
